Hello and thanks for reading. Has anyone ever mounted a sprocket on a Motorized bicycle with a atom brake rear hub? The hub is large and I am wondering if I am going to have trouble mounting the sprocket. John

It will not be a bolt-on. I have a nice shimano roller brake rear wheel that I didn't use on my motor bike for that reason.
One idea is to use a shift kit, which uses your pedal chain and bicycle gears for propulsion.
Another idea is to rig a belt drive, similar to the whizzers.
Atom hubs are cool, so I hope you find a good solution.

I think Kings sprockets or Jim "manic mechanic" can custom make you one; but you'll probably have to custom make the rag joint.
They are both sponsors here...
